The transfer portal is in full swing as it officially opened for every player on Monday, March 24th, at midnight. Some players could hit the portal ahead of time if there was a coaching change at their school, but the Wild West is officially underway, and new Florida State head coach Luke Loucks is getting his first taste of it.

Loucks has taken over for the legendary Leonard Hamilton and has said he expects the roster to go through a massive upheaval this offseason. It's just the nature of college basketball for rosters to have the majority of players transfer out, and FSU is expected to do the same.

To make things easier for Seminole fans, here is a comprehensive list of who will not be returning to Florida State, as well as who they have contacted in the transfer portal.
